36 Week Bumpdate

How I'm feeling: I am getting ready to pop this kid out. I am getting so excited to meet him. With only 4 weeks left it is feeling like Christmas or my birthday sort of :)

Total weight gain: Went to the doctors on Tuesday and we weighed in at 27 over starting weight. I am super proud of myself for only gaining 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks. We are on the right track and I am super pleased with that.

How big is baby? He is the size of a coconut this week :) I must say that I find all of these food analogies very confusing...how was he the size of a pineapple a couple of weeks ago and now the size of a coconut? Doesn't that seem backwards?

This week baby: is around 18-19 inches, so they say, and weighs around 6 pounds. He could come at any point now and survive in this crazy world. Although I would like him to stay inside for at least 1 more week. :)

Maternity clothes: Yes

Sleep:Sleep has hit the challenging point. I tend to be the most comfy after the hubs gets out of bed in the morning because I can sprawl out but that is only getting me about 20 minutes these days. I can't wait to relax from now until he is born.

Best moment this week: Today is my last day of work!!!!!! :) I am starting maternity leave tomorrow and I couldn't be more ready or excited for it.

Movement:He still moves like crazy. He is head down, so that is really exciting, but his legs sure are a kicking my ribs more and more these days.

Food cravings: Nope.

Food aversions: Nope.

Belly button in or out: STILL IN!!!!!!!! I think I will make it the entire pregnancy! :)

What I am thankful for: I am thankful that I get to go out on Maternity Leave 4 weeks before he is due. I am thankful that I will have time to finish his nursery and get things organized around our house a little more before he makes his grand entrance. I am thankful that I don't have to do this alone and that my son will be loved by so many wonderful people.

What I'm looking forward to: I am looking forward to nesting :) I have so many plans for the next few weeks and hopefully pushing this kid out will delay some of those :)
